It is an embarrassment for architecture. An unedited and raw thought of the imagination. Architecture is the editing of an idea and a chain of choices from a myriad of possibilities. This project lacks both.

How does someone gets in?out? How does someone gets to the second “floor”? How does heat gain and circulation work? What is the relation between the inside and outside? Are there any visual connections to the environment? (other than the negative impact on the wild life, especially birds)

The fact that the renderings show a perfect cube without the void seen on section b-b or the deck, shows the prematurity of this project.

you’re critizing that great building because it’s environmental impact, and i’ll just leave here a question for all of you,

what’s better a big building destroying many trees and birds places, or this kind of minimalist building with zero impact on the environment?
Tham & Videgård Hansson Arkitekter didn’t want to became a monster in a forest, and you can notice it on their project…

a similar treehouse was built in the muskoka area of northern ontario (canada) by Shim-Sutcliffe architects. unfortunately i could find links to the cottage but not the associated treehouse. you all may have better luck.

thanks, you made me laugh.

Let´s make camouflaged cities!

How do you take water, electricity and gas to the top of the tree? How do you get into the house?
It´s just a cool idea, as someone said before.
